Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing semiconductor wafers from a workpiece by machining the workpiece using a wire saw, a wire saw to carry out the method and a semiconductor wafer made of single-crystal silicon, which is accessible by the method.
- WO 2015/188 859 A1 describes a wire saw and its operating principle in detail.
- JP 09 109 143 A discloses a method for producing wafers from a workpiece (ingot) by means of a wire saw, which comprises the following steps: detecting the position of wires in a wire field of the wire saw and if there is a deflection of the wires Bring about one
- JP 11 165 251 A similar method is known from JP 11 165 251, which comprises the following steps: detecting the position of wires of a wire field of the wire saw and, if there is a deflection of the wires, bringing about one
- JP 2009 61 527 A A similar method is known from JP 2009 61 527 A which takes into account the fact that the workpiece can move axially due to thermal expansion. Takes account of the fact that means are provided to enable the wire guide rollers to perform a compensating movement.
- the measured warp of disks from a previously machined workpiece can only approximate deviations for a workpiece that is still to be machined
- Semiconductor wafers are accessible, the flatness of which, particularly with regard to warp and nanotopography, is better than that of wafers which are produced in a known manner.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a method for producing semiconductor wafers from a workpiece by machining the workpiece using a wire saw, comprising
- Wire groups are divided between wire guide rollers and move in one direction;
- At least two wire groups are provided, preferably at least three wire groups and particularly preferably four wire groups, but it is also possible for each wire to be understood as a separate wire group, ie the number of wire groups
- Wire groups corresponds to the number of wires in the arrangement of wires (wire gates). Wire groups preferably have the same axial width and the distance between adjacent wires of a wire group is the same.
- Wire groups are brought about independently of any simultaneous adjustment movements of the wires of another wire group.
- electromagnetic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetostrictive and preferably piezoelectric actuators come into consideration as the drive element.
- the wire groups form two inner and two outer wire groups. If the workpiece expands due to heat, the misalignment of a cutting gap which is to be assigned to a wire in one of the inner wire groups is less than that which is to be assigned to a wire in one of the outer wire groups. Accordingly, the amounts of the compensating movements of the wires of the outer wire groups must be chosen larger than the amount of the compensating movements of the wires of the inner wire groups.
- each wire is regarded as a separate wire group
- each wire is subjected to a compensatory movement with its own amount and direction.
- a semiconductor wafer separated from the workpiece has an upper and a lower side surface and an edge running between the two.
- the aim is that the upper and lower side surface after separation from the
- the upper side surface is also referred to as the front side of the semiconductor wafer and is generally the surface on or into which structures of electronic components are intended in the course of further processing of the semiconductor wafer
- the aim of the present invention is to ensure, when machining the workpiece by means of a wire saw, that there are cutting gaps in the workpiece, the position of which deviates as little as possible from an ideal position. If semiconductor wafers with a uniform thickness and side surfaces that are as flat as possible are aimed for, an ideal cutting gap runs in a straight line and at right angles
- Incision gap if the actual trajectory deviates from the desired trajectory. This is the case when a location vector pointing to the center of the intersection no longer ends on the desired trajectory.
- a misalignment of a cutting gap arises, for example, when a wire moves perpendicularly to its direction of travel, i.e. in the direction of the axes of rotation of the wire guide rollers between which it is clamped, during the engagement in the workpiece, or if the workpiece moves through the during the infeed Arrangement of wires axially expands due to heat development.
- the misalignment of a cutting gap is greater, the greater the distance between the cutting gap and the center of the workpiece.
- the center of the workpiece is the location between the two ends of the workpiece.
- One aspect of the invention is to determine the incorrect position of the cutting gap, regardless of the cause of one
- Another aspect of the present invention is to distinguish between a misalignment of the
- Cutting gap which occurs systematically when using a particular wire saw, and a misalignment of the cutting gap, which is random and independent of the
- At least one closed control circuit is expediently set up, in which a control deviation, that is to say a determined incorrect position of the cutting column of the wire group, with a change in the manipulated variable, that is to say a compensation movement of the wires of the wire
- the incorrect position of the cutting gap of the wire group is determined, separately for each wire group, during the infeed of the workpiece by the arrangement of
- the position of each cutting gap is preferably measured relative to a fixed reference point and compared with a target position.
- the target position of a cutting gap is the position relative to the fixed reference point, which would be the prerequisite for creating an ideal cutting gap.
- the deviation of the measured position of the cutting gap from its target position corresponds to the incorrect position of the cutting gap. Because the deviation for each cutting gap of the wire group
- the deviations from an incorrect position which represents the incorrect position of the cutting gap of the wire group, are averaged.
- the same average misalignment is assigned to each cutting gap in the wire group.
- the averaging can be done without weighting or incorrect positions of certain cutting gaps are especially weighted. From the misalignment of the
- a cutting profile can be derived from the cutting gap of the wire group, which specifies the amount and in which direction the wires of the wire group have to be moved during the infeed of the workpiece in order to eliminate the incorrect position of the cutting gap.
- the correction profile When viewed through the depth of penetration of the wires into the workpiece, the correction profile has a course that is complementary to the course of the determined incorrect position of the cutting gap of the wire group.
- the position of the cutting gaps in the wire group is preferably measured by irradiating the cutting gaps in the wire group with optical radiation, IR radiation, X-rays or g radiation.
- optical radiation IR radiation
- mechanical scanning of the cutting gap of the wire group or inductive or capacitive measurement of the cutting gap of the wire group can also be considered. Such direct observation of the cutting gap of the wire group reveals any relative movement between the workpiece and the wires of a wire group.
- the position of each wire of a wire group and of the workpiece relative to a fixed reference point is measured simultaneously and compared with a target position in order to detect such a relative movement. Since the deviation is fundamentally different for each wire in the wire group, the
- Deviations from a misalignment averaged which is the misalignment of the wires of the
- Wire group represents. In other words, each wire in the wire group is assigned the same average misalignment. The averaging can be done without weighting or incorrect positions of certain cutting gaps are especially weighted.
- the target position of the wire is the position of the wire relative to the fixed one
- the deviation of the actual trajectory from the desired trajectory is approximately determined from the sum of the measured deviations from the target positions of wire and workpiece.
- the position of the wires of the wire group or the position of the workpiece is measured by irradiating the wires of the wire group
- the position of the workpiece can be determined relative to end faces of the workpiece and preferably relative to reference points marked on the workpiece.
- the incorrect position of the cutting gap of the wire group is determined, separately for each wire group, before the workpiece is delivered by the arrangement of wires. Due to this procedure, an incorrect position of the cutting gap is determined, which occurs systematically when using a certain wire saw. To determine the misalignment of the cutting gap, the local geometry of semiconductor wafers, which were previously produced using a certain wire saw, is measured. This
- Semiconductor wafers originate from one or more workpieces that were produced using this wire saw, specifically using wires from the wire group for which the incorrect position of the cutting gap is determined.
- Semiconductor wafer approximates the trajectory of the cutting gap adjacent to the semiconductor wafer.
- the local geometry is preferably derived from the median surface of a warp measurement in accordance with SEMI MF 1390-0218, specifically as follows: a contour line (LS) is generated by selecting it
- Measured values of the median area which are located on a line that runs through the center of the semiconductor wafer.
- the measured values lie on a line which preferably follows a diameter of the semiconductor wafer in the direction of the infeed of the workpiece when the semiconductor wafer is separated or at least does not deviate from such a direction by more than ⁇ 20 °.
- the local geometry of the Semiconductor wafers which originate from one or more workpieces, which were produced by means of this wire saw and which were produced by means of wires of the wire group, averaged to a single local geometry.
- the averaging can be done without weighting or the local geometry of certain semiconductor wafers is particularly weighted due to their relative position in the workpiece.
- it is then concluded what the trajectory of the cutting gap will be if the particular wire saw is used and other influences which affect the trajectory are not taken into account.
- Such a trajectory is referred to below as the expected trajectory.
- the incorrect position of the cutting gap of the wire group which is to be expected during the infeed of the workpiece, results from the comparison of the expected trajectory with the desired trajectory. The comparison provides a specific wire saw
- Correction profile which specifies the direction and amount of the compensating movements of the wires of the wire group as a function of the depth of penetration of the wires into the workpiece during the infeed of the workpiece by the arrangement of wires.
- the course of the wire saw-specific correction profile is in principle complementary to the course of the averaged local geometry.
- the wire saw-specific correction profile is preferably also used in order to detect changes in the performance of the wire saw at an early stage and to be able to react to them. Changes in the wire saw specific
- Such adaptation measures can, for example, change the composition and / or the temperature of a cutting agent suspension or change the temperature of a coolant include, as well as changing the wire speed or other process-specific parameters.
- a first part of the compensating movements of the wires of the wire group is brought about on the basis of a correction profile which, according to the first embodiment of the invention, occurs in real time during the infeed of the workpiece depending on the depth of penetration of the wires
- Wire group is determined. Another part of the compensating movements of the wires of the wire group is brought about on the basis of a wire saw-specific correction profile which, according to the second embodiment of the invention, before the workpiece is delivered by the arrangement of wires for the respective one
